Good, hopefully the author will keep Musashi alone forever, a sad old hermit in the mountains banging trees with a stick and writing an influential book. Ending up with Otsu would be too cliche.
Sad though it may be, this is a smart and realistic decision on Musashi's part. Otsu would most likely be killed if she and Musashi were together, or they would be constantly on the run.
THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
Didn't know the old man was a friend of the old Yoshioka
Anyway he's finally decided that going back and having a happy life with Otsu is impossible. I guess this is gonna take at least 2 to 5 more chapters. At least before we get back into action.
